Maddalena
Birrificio Bresciano Montenetto

 

 

Found this at the Bottle Shop in South Philly and was curious... Maybe I should have abstained. Bottle says imported by Nev Corp Beverages (Nevulis).

Poured from an 11.2oz bottle into a standard pint.

Mostly white relatively strong head. Solid red color... And the sediment is ridiculous. Unreal, even. So much yeast left it looks disgusting.

Scent is standard Yuengling-esque amber.

Taste is an extremely mediocre Irish red.

Mouthfeel actually isn't too bad. About what I expect from a red ale, perhaps more what I expect from a hoppy red.

This isn't worth drinking if this is the standard experience.

The beer appeared a deep red color, with shades of mahogany. Creamy foam, dirty white in color and moderately persistent. The smell is too turn to sugar, therefore to sweet. As in the case of the other beer brewery (the Lapy), the previous bottle was much more cool and inviting, while this appears to be heavier and much less easy to drink. Even in the taste still feel a sensation of heaviness and a little freshness. Mind you: not a beer undrinkable or absurd, but the freshness and drinkability are something else! This bottle tends to become the beer almost anonymous and banal, and given also the antecedents of those who helps produce this beer, this is not wanted. Anyway enough: the brewery is very young (has a few months of life at the time of review), so be double checked.
